Getting Started with JModels
1. Models Prerequisites.
The only thing these models require to run is an up-to-date version of Java to be installed on your computer. Java is a platform-independent programming language, so regardless of your computer type, any of the JModels will run. The box below will indicate if your version of java is installed and is sufficiently recent.
| The version and vendor from the JRE |

If Java is working, you will see a pink rectangle above with one line of text that says something like: For the jmodels to work correctly you will need version 1.5 or greater. |
If you do not have a copy of java installed or wish to upgrade to version 1.5 or later then visit the Java website. If you are using a Mac OS X computer then just simply run a software update to obtain the latest version.
2. Starting the Models.
To run any of the models simply navigate your way to the JModels home page. and click on the relevant model you wish to run. After the download process click, yes/trust/continue to the certificate, and away you go.
3. Using the Models.
Watch the relevant video tutorial on the resources page for a step-through guide on how to run a model.
4. Understanding the underlying science
This is explained within the accompanying documentation. An in-depth manual provides technical and scientific information and explains how to run the models to investigate and illustrate different aspects of the Earth System.
